It Hurts

It hurts To feel like less To have that terrible weight on your chest When all you want is for it to be lifted It hurts To be looked at as less To realize you're stuck in this big mess Trying to fix it without hope to be seen It hurts To have to keep going To push through and fight for everything knowing It might not get better while you're still here It hurts To try and change the ways that were set in stone To try and love those who have before broken your spirit and bone But we can't give up It hurts To love who don't care To feel for those who don't want to do their share But we must stand up It hurts No one every said it would be easy to do That we would get this done in a day, week, month, year or two But if we don't stand up who will?
